Varaha Purana 129.47: Adhyaya 129, Shloka 47
Initiation for the Four Social Orders, Sandhyā Mantra Procedure, and the Merit of Offering Water in a Copper Vessel
दीक्षितैर्वै भागवतैः पाद्यार्घ्यादौ च दीयते ॥ एवं दीक्षाविधिः प्रोक्त एवं ताम्रसमुद्भवः ॥
dīkṣitair vai bhāgavataiḥ pādyārghyādau ca dīyate || evaṃ dīkṣāvidhiḥ prokta evaṃ tāmrāsamudbhavaḥ
जिन भक्तों ने दीक्षा ली है, वो पानी और अर्घ्य देना शुरू करते हैं। पहले पाँव धोना, फिर अर्घ्य। इस तरह दीक्षा का पूरा बताया गया है। और जो तांबे के बर्तन से रिलेटेड है वो भी क्लियर है।
